Bruno There was also a gread deal of discussion on the list, about double fretting. I have been very happy with the double frets that Stephen Gottlieb made for me. They can also be used instead of tastini for certain tunings, I believe. See also the question of fret height on this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg24467.html
Also van Edwards for double fretting http://www.vanedwards.co.uk/fretknot.htm The lute in Holbein's "Ambassadors" There are 8 tied frets, relatively thin, in what appears to be a double-fret arrangement (ie each fret passes twice around the neck) and no soundboard frets on what looks like a very clean belly. http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~telehist/ambass/mails/barber.htm Close viewing of this de la Hyre theorbo seems to show double fretting. http://tinyurl.com/conmfc Regards Anthony Le 4 mars 09 à 15:53, Bruno Correia a écrit : > Thanks for all the information.
